To be able to do this, you should let org-mode create a universal ID for the heading that you want to link to. The following steps should help you do this. 1. Make sure you have the org-id module loaded. : (require 'org-id) 2. In the file foo.org, go to the first heading (presuming that's the heading you want to link to). 3. Call the function =org-store-link=. : M-x org-store-link 4. Go to the location in bar.org, where you want to insert the link. 5. Call the function =org-insert-link=. : M-x org-insert-link Use the arrow keys to select the link you want to insert, from the list. HTH, Puneeth
